In this role, you are focused on logistics, tracking, and follow-through. Think of this position as the air traffic controller for all things marketing, creative, and communications; if the planes were social graphics, email campaigns, event promotions, landing pages, and print collateral.

You are hands-on and proactive, someone who knows what needs to happen next, and makes sure it does. You thrive on accuracy, consistency, and teamwork, and you take pride in supporting projects that make a statewide impact.

Essential Functions Project Coordination & Task Management Manage project plans and timelines using Asana; set up tasks, assign owners, and maintain deadlines. Track day-to-day progress of campaigns, creative deliverables, and communications initiatives. Ensure cross-functional teams have what they need to keep moving, flagging blockers and tracking dependencies. Perform final checks for scheduling conflicts, resourcing issues, and missed details. Ownership of Asana as a Core Tool Serve as the department’s lead Asana user: entering and updating tasks, maintaining project accuracy, and enforcing standards. Uphold naming conventions, organizational structure, and best practices within the platform. Ensure project dashboards, calendars, and timelines are always up to date. Communication & Documentation Document meeting notes and follow-ups with clear action items and responsible parties. Keep stakeholders informed through timely updates and status tracking. Raise issues early and clearly. Process Support & Continuous Improvement Identify inefficiencies or pain points and suggest improvements that enhance productivity and workflow.
